Space Saver Spare Tire Size TourX Essence

Thanks, I have a RYOBI impact driver (not sure if that matters since we're talking sockets, not drivers),

Good to hear a deep well 19mm impact socket fits in the OEM wheels.

94cruiser, glad you mentioned lug nuts, I'm thinking about replacing some or all of ours, because one of the lug nuts' exterior covering got mangled (I thought I just didn't get a socket on it correctly). The lug nuts seem to be OK, having one without its exterior beauty cover doesn't seem to affect its function, correct? How did you know the lug nuts on your TourX were swelling?
 
I have two wheel sets (all season and winter).
One of the times I had the wheels changed at the tire shop they showed me several swollen lug nuts.

I've had this happen on my previous car as well, and decided it was time to change them all.


When they swell it makes it difficult to line up the socket to remove, from the car, and at times can be difficult to remove the nut from the socket once you remove from the car.
